Apply for this job

Job summary

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and dynamic Clinical Manager to join our dedicated community services team. This is a rewarding leadership role where you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to patient care, service delivery, and staff development.

As a Clinical Manager, you will provide visible leadership and operational oversight, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, safe, and effective care. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will support staff, drive service improvements, and help shape the future of community healthcare services.

The post is 37.5 hours per week Monday - Friday

Main duties of the job

The post requires a strong innovative leader to lead the Hub for Calderdale & Huddersfield Trust Community Healthcare Division in collaboration with the Primary Care Network and Stakeholders.

Calderdale Community Healthcare Division covers five locality Hubs each with a clinical Manager lead.

About us

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children's and young people's services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS - yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members - patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
